VirtualBox 4.2 and 4.3 Compatibly with OS X Mavericks

Can anyone reproduce this or having the same issue and found a solution yet.

I updated to 4.3 (Same issue with 4.2)and still wasn't able to shutdown my VM or Mac afterwards

Steps to Recreate My Issue

1) Update to 4.3

2) Have at least 2 VM's (i.e. XP, and Windows 7)

3) Open both VM's

4) Try to shutdown the 1st VM you opened by clicking the red x

expected results - VM Shutsdown and icon removes from Dock

actual results - VM Shutsdown but the icon is still in the Docking station, Force Quit and Activity Monitor cant remove it the user is also unable to shutdown his Mac without doing a manual shutdown by holding the power button. After manually shutting down n bringing it back the user is back at square 1 with the host-only adapter not available.

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9), VirtrualBox

Same problem here.

To shutdown my machine for now, I have been running the following to force shutdown

$ sudo shutdown -h now

I hope Oracle fixes this issue pretty soon. Something tells me its has to do with the Host Only Network Adaptor.

Try disabling the Host Network adapter in Virtualbox. I have the same problem and read that is what you have to do. I haven't done it yet as I don't use it that much and haven't gotten around to trying it out.

Hi,

The issue (https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/12241) is reported fixed in VirtualBox 4.3.4.

This issue ( https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/12241 ) has been reopened and is not confined to Host Only Networks. I'm having this problem when using Bridged Adapters.

Some report that they are able to do an orderly shutdown by issuing:

sudo shutdown -h now

from Terminal.
